Caledonia, New York, Dec 12. 2012 — Applied Energy Solutions (www.appliedenergysol.com) developed their first battery information transmitter in 2006 for the Bronco™ SCR battery charger. Today, they have released a new redesigned, faster and more efficient battery information transmitting device. The new BIT™ monitors battery performance, health, and alerts the user of adverse operating conditions over the entire battery life. This product works with wireless RF communication to transmit data to an easy to use graphical interface that allows the user to detect patterns, identify problems, and to convert data into ready to use spreadsheets.

The BIT is manufactured for all material handling environments with a rugged case construction to resist impact, water and electrolyte spills and its small size will not interfere with battery watering, removal, or lid closure by fitting between inter-cell connectors.

The BIT™ logs critical parameters including:

Voltage

AH

Electrolyte level

Temperature

Total throughput

The web based version of the device can alarm the user by email and text if the battery in use is under or over voltage, needs to be watered, is overheated or is over or under current ranges. The BIT™ will be displayed during ProMat 2013 at the Applied Energy Solutions booth #972.
